Self Portrait Two (#21)

Forgive me but it’s a bit of a slow day on the old ‘Panic with another self-portrait. Seems I’ve gone all “designer” on this one.

I was going to illustrate a female mullet (or Femmullet for the initiated) as per the request of Ms Bianca Gillin but I didn’t do it the justice it deserved and time was ticking, so I took the easy option and drew my hair (and beard). Truth be told, I got myself a flash new haircut yesterday! Mad props to Giannis!

I have been however, having mucho fun trying out new palettes and blend modes in Illustrator looking for that sweet high-key look that you see around in lots of photography these days… I think I nailed the tone with this one and I’m digging the gradient striations which normally I’d be fighting against in my paid print design work.
